Curious Fledglings

[Glenda Simmons]

These are six week old Eastern Bluebird Fledglings, taken in my yard last spring. I was fortunate to be able to get fairly close and observe the siblings interacting with each other. I watched them as they appeared to be playing "Follow The Leader", then had a preening session, followed by snuggeling up together on the tree limb for a nap.

This was taken with a Canon Rebel XTi, 28-135mm lens, hand held at a focal length of 135mm. f/6.3 1/200 ISO 400, flash used. I cropped it and used minimal sharpening.

Glenda,

Nice job.
Big branch in the middle is kind of grabbing my attention from subjects on either side.

Agree with Sid, but what are you going to do? Nice behavioral capture.
